Mercy me! These Parmesan Chive Biscuits are what biscuit dreams are made of. If you love biscuits, you’ll fall for these—light, tender, and full of delicate savory flavor.
These Parmesan Chive Biscuits pair beautifully with many meals. The Parmesan adds a nutty, salty note and the chives bring a mild onion-like brightness. Neither flavor overwhelms—together they simply elevate these little rounds into irresistible, flaky clouds that disappear fast.
Serve them alongside roasted chicken, a crisp spinach salad, or a bowl of tomato soup. They complement and enhance a wide range of dishes, and once you start serving them, expect requests to make them again.
Here is the recipe for these delightful Parmesan Chive Biscuits. I can’t wait to hear what you serve them with.

Parmesan Chive Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients
-
2 cups (226 g) self-rising flour (spoon + level) -
½ teaspoon (1 g) kosher salt -
1 pinch (1 g) sugar -
3 tablespoons (35 g) shortening -
1 tablespoon (14 g) cold butter -
1¼ cups (307 g) buttermilk, plus a little more for brushing -
1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese -
3 tablespoons (9 g) chopped chives, plus extra for topping
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
-
Cut the shortening and very cold butter into the dry ingredients (flour, salt, and sugar) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Gradually pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and mix lightly until just combined. Fold in the grated Parmesan and chopped chives.
-
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a round about ½ inch thick. Use a sharp metal or glass cutter to cut out biscuits.
-
Place about 2 tablespoons of shortening in a baking pan and put the pan in the oven for 2–3 minutes to melt. Remove and tilt the pan so the bottom is evenly coated with the melted shortening.
-
Carefully arrange each biscuit in the hot fat. You may hear a slight sizzle as the bottoms begin to fry.
-
Brush the tops with a bit more buttermilk and sprinkle with additional chives.
-
Return the pan to the oven and bake until the biscuits have risen and are lightly golden, about 10–12 minutes. Remove and serve warm.
